iSCORE was designed
to help motivate students to take responsibility for their practising and
overall music learning and music creation. iSCORE helps students set goals,
create new work, and respond to feedback from teachers, peers and parents. It
also facilitates mid-week communication between students and teachers,
ultimately helping students become independent learners. iSCORE includes a text
annotation tool and links to recording software.

iSCORE was created over several years, building on the
work of the CSLP
in developing ePEARL,
a related tool for classroom teaching. In 2011, the team secured funding from
Canadian Heritage to develop iSCORE—specially designed for independent (studio)
music teachers. We have secured funding from the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, ($1.9 million) under
the Partnership Grants program, to conduct research on the effectiveness of
iSCORE—and to share those findings—from 2011–2017.
